Hurricane Melissa

[Kds86z]

Some of you missed a pds tornado warning

EWRC also pushes more precipitation out as well, right?

Mission 16 should be 15 minutes tops from punching the eye

I don’t see this making it to category 5 anymore. It never bombed out fully (is weaker than satellite suggested) and now it's on the cusps of any EWRC and is fighting sheer and dry air still.

 

[N0mz]

Nah I'm still confident in a cat 5 at some point. There's a little less than 48 hours to landfall, and I 100% at least one eye contraction that puts it over the top.

Melissa continues to demonstrate upper-echelon characteristics. Mesovortices remain visible in the well-defined eye. What number gets slapped on this storm is irrelevant to Jamaica, which is about to bear the brunt of a historic hurricane. Any chasers, photographers or adrenaline junkies would be best served to stay far away from this one. Any areas that aren't battered by wind and surge will be drenched in rain, and most of the elevated areas of Jamaica are highly-vulnerable to landslides. This is an extremely dangerous situation in the making.

Could be a wobble, but it looks like the northward turn has begun in the last 30 minutes or so

 

[tornado examiner]

I woke up and saw minimal change but Perhaps it's unwise to underestimate it. No secondary eye wall evident in recon data and it's strengthening smoothly again.

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

18c eye its doing things again, deepening aswell seems to be getting back on track

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

welcome back to this episode of still no ewrc:

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

c8 eye pinhole, oh man here we go guys

 

[tornado examiner]

We all know what pinhole eyes are capable of. And that's any size less than 10 miles in diameter.

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

20c eye temp??? wasn't 18 like 5 fuckin minutes ago

 

[Kds86z]

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

so we pinholed and uhm we can't ewerc, see an issue here? cuz I sure as hell do :/. give it some time and shits gonna hit da fan

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

hmm watch this, the current moat *could* try and morph into a one thck eye wall
